Granule


Definition:

Precipitate


Definition:

  • (a.) Overhasty; rash; as, the king was too precipitate in declaring war.
  • (a.) Lacking due deliberation or care; hurried; said or done before the time; as, a precipitate measure.
  • (a.) Falling, flowing, or rushing, with steep descent; headlong.
  • (a.) Ending quickly in death; brief and fatal; as, a precipitate case of disease.
  • (n.) An insoluble substance separated from a solution in a concrete state by the action of some reagent added to the solution, or of some force, such as heat or cold.

  • (v. i.) To dash or fall headlong.
  • (v. i.) To hasten without preparation.
  • (v. i.) To separate from a solution as a precipitate. See Precipitate, n.
